No, the composition of your breast milk is unique to you and does not change with a second child.

Privacy is a very important topic for LactaScreen. The breast milk sample is sent anonymously to the laboratory and identified with barcodes. Personal data and results are stored in a secure location with access only for LactaScreen. A detailed description can be read in the Privacy Statement on this website.

The results provide certainty about the composition of your breast milk. Based on the results, you can consciously choose to fully breastfeed or supplement. The test indicates which category the composition of your breast milk falls into, and whether the most common HMOs are present. If your baby has any issues, you’ll at least know if the composition of your breast milk could be a factor. Finally, you can order a supplement to add to your breast milk.
